The last night of Interim Housing was Friday, where they were ready to house 30 clients, though fewer showed up. I arranged 2 nights using Wyndham points to get a reduced rate at what used to be a HoJo, now is Baymont.
PADS coordinators contacted me Thursday and Saturday. On Saturday they said, call us back on Monday, so I called at 8:30 am. At 10:30 they called back to tell me where they'd arranged my room, to confirm I drive and could get there without assistance, and to suggest I stop by the office for some food.
I stopped by… I am looking forward to the Peanut Butter and Jelly… I don't know why, but I am. I stopped at a Walgreens to get a loaf of bread. They must have given it away with the toilet paper and bottled water. I did get hot dog buns…
Other than that, things are mostly the same.
